Description
With the SHR-testing from 04/16 and the 2.6.29 kernel wireless is not working. Using iwlist eth0 scan only works some of the times but no matter what eth0 is not able to connect with any AP even when using tools such as Mofi and wpa_supplicant. The low level tools like iwconfig fails to connect. For more information on this see the thread on the community mailing list http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-April/046614.html. It also seems that the only way to get wireless to work is to go back to the 2.6.28 kernel, but makes the rest of the phone broken as found here http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-April/046667.html
